Abstract
The laser (10) has a crystal modulator (22) located at one end (16) of the laser gain medium (12) opposite the end (14) to which the total reflector or grating (18) is attached. The outcoupler (28) is spaced a predetermined nonzero distance apart from the edge (30) of the crystal (22). The spacing (d) is selected to overcome and compensate for distortions caused by thermal lensing effects in the crystal (22).
